[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
New update pushed, let me know if the problems persist.

An issue has been fixed that could cause this behavior in theory, but somehow I doubt it is really the cause of the problem you are seeing, still, have a try. It's unfortunate that so much of the core code had to be redone in a hurry due to 500px sudden API change, which caused at least the problems I have now corrected.

Issues such as these are very difficult to find as they're not reproducable on my end. Possible a live debugging session could be of help, if one of you guys has the time and can jump on IRC.
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Another update, should take care of the pinning issue, and further tunes the cache for less bandwidth usage. Might even get rid of the nightly wakelock some have repoted.
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Another update. This time I've significantly reduced the number of API calls needed to 500px's servers. Something that was sorely needed after that API change last week. Won't save much bandwidth-wise, but it will drastically reduce latency.
[Android Apps and Games] LordDeath:
I wanted to use this with Muzei but somehow the Wallpaper changing works only a short time after setting it up. After several hours of standby 500 Firepaper does not fetch new wallpapers anymore and Muzei's "Next artwork" button also stops working.

Is there an issue with running either of these apps in the background? Muzei runs as a service but 500 Firepaper is running as a normal application. Maybe things stop working once Android closes 500 Firepaper?

My device is a Nexus 6 so my available RAM should not be the issue here (I think...)
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
I'll have to do some more Muzei-based testing. But honestly, if you're using 500 Firepaper with Muzei... why not just use 500 Firepaper directly?
[Android Apps and Games] LordDeath:
Thank you for looking at it.

I have two reasons why I want to use Muzei with 500 Firepaper:

Muzei's dimming and blurring effects are nice. When disabled for the lock screen it creates a nice transition every time I unlock my phone.

Action Launcher 3 has this new "Wallpaper Quicktheme" feature which extracts the color palette of the current wallpaper and applies it to some elements like folder backgrounds, the drawer background or the Google search bar. It seems to work with Muzei itself but not with other live wallpapers. Piping 500 Firepaper through Muzei would create a new color palette for every picture.

I have attached an example screenshot which shows that color palette extraction.
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Regarding lockscreen blurring and dimming transitions, I can see how those could be nice. As Muzei shamelessly nicked half of 500 Firepaper's then-unique feature-set at release, I will happily steal this, whenever I have the time to implement it. (Though as Muzei killed the live wallpaper market, every minute spent on Firepaper is a complete loss, so who knows when...)

As for Action Launcher 3, they do not have access to live wallpaper content. Muzei has a way for other apps to retrieve the currently displayed wallpaper image, the Action Launcher 3 guys probably built in specific code for that. There's no 'generic' way to do this with live wallpapers. I'd be happy to provide a call for them to make to retrieve the current image from 500 Firepaper, if they are interested, but I'm not going to be the one to nag them about such a thing.

I have attached a test version of 500 Firepaper, might fix the issue with Muzei, please test it and let me know.
[Android Apps and Games] LordDeath:
After ~2 hours I still don't see any issues with the test version. Everything works as expected. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Tmcd12:
Update Interval

I tried to avoid posting here because I don't like repeated posts about the same subject but I can't find this information anywhere. I got the pro version of the app and on the FAQ it says "purchasing Pro will extend the maximum cache time from 24 hours to 7 days" but when I open the aplication and try to change de update interval, the maximum time is still 1 day. I can pin it just fine, but I can't set a fixed time for the pictures longer than 1 day, is something wrong? Am I looking in the wrong option or is it supposed to be this way?
[Android Apps and Games] tonyp:
Just bought the pro version just to show you otherwise :)

Keep it up, one of the best apps out there!
[Android Apps and Games] Tmcd12:
I think I found the answer. It seems the app is working as intended. I'm sorry if my question sound stupid and noob-like. In my defense when I red

I though they were two separete functions, that's why I was trying to increase the update interval time, as a way to keep every image up for more than a day and not just the one I pin. I found out the answer in the Android community site, article "500 Firepaper update adds 500px Pro option".

I'm posting this here so that if anyone have the same question it can find the answer here. Please don't shoot me guys it was a honest question, I should have googled it more! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Flyview:
I have been really enjoying this app for months. I read a few pages back here (and I noticed in one of the update change logs), looks like there were some major 500px API changes. Just wanted to let you know I'm seeing a lot of low-res images again. I've tried clearing the cache but they are pretty much all low res.
[Android Apps and Games] BakaB:
+1, seeing a bunch of low-res images again.

it was working fine for awhile after the last update.
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
New update pushed, should fix the issue (clear cache)

The app won't run anymore.

From Google Play it installed and started up fine but won't automatically continue to change wallpaper setting like before. When I manually changed wallpaper I saw the app there but when selected OS said app isn't installed.

Scaling

Could you make the images auto fit to the display?

Currently most images are cropped which severely decreases the enjoyment of the images.
[Android Apps and Games] swent:
As you might have noticed, Action Launcher 3 now has a new API for fetching colors of live wallpaper apps. Would be awesome if you could take a look.

Thanks for your great app, your work is highly appreciated.

I bought 500 firepaper and used it on my M8, but now i have Oneplus One and i can't activate the pro features... Is it some kind bug? Need help
[Android Apps and Games] {Diemex}:
An option to change the gesture for the next wallpaper would be great. I have GMD gesture control and set it to consume touch events with 3 fingers. I would prefer a triple tap for next wallpaper.
[Android Apps and Games] nmlssit:
I've set the live wallpaper to change every 24h but at every wake up I see a different wallpaper. What am I doing wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] WylieCoyote:
Same here, I'm using nova laumcher and it was working brilliantly, then switched toTSF for a few hours, tried to load the wallpaper and it says application isnt installed, switched backto Nova and I've still got the same problem. Tried deleting data and cache, even uninstalling and reinstalling from playstore with no luck.

Change method of cycling wallpaper

Can you please allow us to customize the way the wallpaper is cycled? Specifically, you currently allow us to move to the next wallpaper by tapping on the screen with three fingers, but this can be somewhat inconvenient, and having the option to change this to done other method would be great.
[Android Apps and Games] :
[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] ... dude that tripple tap to change wallpaper stopped almost overnight ... It was all going fine, I made no changes in my system/app settings, and suddenly stopped working, wiped app, uninstall/reinstall, tried with stock launcher, no luck ... you have any workaround for this or should we wait for an update ?
[Android Apps and Games] D™:
[MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] want to tell u that ur app is getting hacked by a program which can support this app to become Pro Without any purchasing. Pls do care of it as I do urs. :o:o

When changing pictures are skipped some photos of the category in 500px... Why?
[Android Apps and Games] cpaixao:
Firepaper is not complying refresh time. It is refreshing every minute even though I set a longer interval.
[Android Apps and Games] TriMoon:
Male/Female

Can you PLEASE add an option to select, male/Female pictures only, from the Nude category?!

I'm about to get gay the way it is now :D

No seriously, its making me sick....

Its the only category i use to display and will uninstall if that option is not implementable, it didn't used to show gay images a while ago...:mad:

This. I can't get it to stop refreshing every minute. Am I doing something wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] htr5:
Try adding your own categories with relevant tags.

You can also try Muzei and adding certain sub reddits although it's not as great at Firepaper
[Android Apps and Games] barabangel:
Anyone can tell me why you do not show all the pictures of categories and skip some of them...?
[Android Apps and Games] psychomaniac189:
I wish when changing the wallpaper using the 3 finger gesture and if you skipped a wallpaper you liked for that day to fast there was a "go back" gesture. That would be awesome. Now I just triple tap and pin it for one day.
[Android Apps and Games] Yathani:
Amazing app and i have bought the pro version. However, I have a small issues with my Tab S 8.4. When I rotate the screen from portrait to landscape mode or vice versa, half of the screen become black for 1 sec then it loads the picture fully.

If you can find a fix for this or would be fantastic.

Thanks

[Android Apps and Games] OGhoul:
How do you add your own categories? Is there a configuration file to manually add them to?
[Android Apps and Games] psychomaniac189:
I hope chainfire is doing well. I also hope when he has some free time to update this with some of the recent feature requests. That last part's going to be hard with all this awesome weather!
[Android Apps and Games] maykelsaad:
yes . you can download the app from play store
[Android Apps and Games] psychomaniac189:
it would be cool if you could access the settings from the screen that pops up when you triple tap on your homescreen

[Android Apps and Games] WPWoodJr:
I love the app functionality but recently I've noticed that it is using CPU at a constant rate of 3% when on battery power, which is draining the battery. When the device (a Note 5) is powered, there is little to no CPU utilization by the app. There should be no reason for 500 Firepaper to constantly use the CPU since all it has to do is load a new wallpaper once in a while. Also it's very odd that the CPU use quiets down when the device is powered.﻿
[Android Apps and Games] WPWoodJr:
This screenshot from System Panel will show what I mean. You can see 3% cpu usage on battery until about 8:15, then 0% cpu usage while the Note 5 is plugged in until about 8:40. This continues at 0% on battery until the phone was turned on just after 9, then at that point the cpu usage goes to 3% again while still on battery.
[Android Apps and Games] WPWoodJr:
Even more CPU use by Firepaper

This System Panel screenshot shows Firepaper using 10% CPU while on battery, but not while charging. Please can you fix this issue?

Parallax view

When I move my phone's view to the right the picture on the wallpaper moves to the left so it seems to be backwards. Is this by design?
[Android Apps and Games] Yaoshi_2000:
Check Your Launcher's Settings

This is not a function of Firepaper. I suggest that you check your launcher's wallpaper-related settings. For example, Nova launcher has a "Wallpaper scrolling" setting under "Desktop" in its settings menu. There you can reverse the scrolling.

[Android Apps and Games] indef:
I've also noticed the CPU usage and battery drain, but as I am not an overly heavy user of the phone for anything besides solitaire and social media, the battery on my N9005 still lasts till the next recharge cycle.

Excellent app, does exactly what I want it to do, and the quality of content from 500px is fantastic.

Thank you!

Hello. I just wanna say that you are great developer !

If you have time I want to report bug in 500 Firepaper. I have Huawei Mate 7 which runs heavily customized EMUI skin on top of Android 5.1.1

If i set any other wallpaper except your 500 firepaper I don't have this bug. I know that Huawei heavily modified it's skin but other wallpaper apps run fine.

Bug that i experienced it's in almost all system apps. Here are screenshots:

With other wallpaper apps such as Tapet, Wallz etc:

With your 500 firepaper app:

Screenshot are taken on KK but same bug it's on LP

Hope to hear from you soon.
[Android Apps and Games] Corbula:
I've recently installed this app, I've set the image change to 24 hours but it seems to be changing randomly a couple of times an hour. I'm using it on a Nexus 5x with Nova Launcher.

Any ideas?

Also, I've just read your blog post about splitting from 500px, that's a real shame. No plans to use a different provider? What will happen when that happens, will images just stop being shown all together?
[Android Apps and Games] miloytyn:
Daydream does not seem to work correctly in Nexus 6P. It shows the first image correctly, but after it changes to new one the screen is just black, except the title text is shown if enabled. I'm using Nova launcher with stock rom but I also tried the Google launcher and the issue persisted.

I noticed that the daydream breaks when the device locks. As long as the device is not locked the images are shown correctly. Immediately after the device locks and the image changes the screen will turn black.

[Android Apps and Games] RamixRemixed:
Awesome app

I know that currently there's no *official business-relationship* linkage between Chainfire and 500px, but still, this is probably one of the best apps I've d/l in a long time. And currently, it still works.

I've purchased a license for the superroot as a thank you.

One thing that really impresses me - as simple as this may sound - is that it gets the screen right. I can't get Android to use any of my saved pictures for a wallpaper without it demanding that I crop the hell out of them, even when I try to get ones scaled to the pixels. Yet, Firepaper brings in these massive, awesome, beautiful pictures, and MAKES Android take them.

That magic alone is worth praise, but coupled with the rest of the workings, Friepaper 500 is definitely a work of art in itself. For as long as it keeps running, hurrah!

If the 500px feed eventually fails, I'd be reasonably happy with a regular replacement wallpaper displayer that makes all my saved graphics just plain fit! Something that I can't seem to figure out how to do on my 10" Asus TF300T or my 7" Asus MemoPad HD7. (The Asus 7" HD with the crappy touchscreen that I couldn't use for anything good until I loaded firepaper 500 and just have it in daydream mode on my desk.) Ah... beauty.

Thank you for your hard work.

Screensaver (daydream) on S7 edge

Hi [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION], thanks for the great app, i have been using it since the beginning.

I know you said you broke up with 500px, but 4 months on and it still seems to be going. I just upgraded to the Galaxy S7 edge, and now it doesn't seem to work anymore. Other screensavers (they now call daydream screen savers apparently) work OK, so I think it must be something with 500 firepaper? It just displays a black screen. If i tap the screen it shows the title and author, so I can see it trying to do something.. just no picture.

Any ideas? I've tried enabling and disabling hardware acceleration, i've tried clearing the cache, I have the "always on" thing that the galaxy s7 offers disabled.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] miloytyn:
I have same problem with Nexus 6P. The problem is related to locking of the phone since the pictures are shown correctly while the phone is not locked, but immediately when the phone locks the next pocture shows only black screen with possibly the title text. E.g. I have set the phone to lock 1 minute after the display turns off. During the first minute image are shown correctly but after the minute only blank screen is shown.

Best wallpaper app so far, beats muzie by long shot... Only one ques, How can i add custom urls or rss feeds for more options in categories? :( its really limited, i just want space pics but i cant seem to add it, i have root xposed, custom kennel, u name it, so just tell me how n i'll try to do it :D

[Android Apps and Games] omniwolf:
Just bumping this, i have now tried it on the HTC 10 and it has the same problem. I don't think it's a 500px API thing, I think it's some incompatibility with 500 firepaper and the screensaver / daydream framework in android 6 (.0.1)...

It still works fine on a android 5.x phone (friend's stock galaxy s6).

Would love to see this fixed, i tried looking for alternatives and nothing is close :(

mine is set to lock after 10 minutes, and (as you say) the screen goes black after about a minute. However, the screen is locked if i immediately close the daydream when the screen goes black, so I assume this must be a daydream feature - to lock the screen a minute after the day dream is active, regardless of your android lock timeout. Maybe 500px needs to request more access or something? not sure.

Can't be done - this is out of Chainfire's control. you would have to ask 500px, but I'd rather not upset that hornet's nest..

You miss the point of this app then. This app isn't "Muzui". It is only for 500px. So if 500px doesn't have a space category (which it doesn't appear to have), then this app can't help you.

Love the 3 finger tap. Can you incorporate a way to not change the wallpaper unless 3 finger tapped? That would rock. Ive seen soem images on my nexus 5 that look absolutely stunning but I loose them after the 60 minute interval.

A pause feature - or dont change interval unless 3 finger tapped would greatly improve the functionality and effectiveness.

Truly a stunning modern way of having kick ass wallpapers.

I would pay for this

Working great on S4. Instantly fast, no crash, no lag, no hiccup.

I had a selection of 250 wallpapers, but even so I was getting bored. This is a wonderful replacement.

LE, one possible problem: the wallpaper is changed at each switch between landscape and portrait (happens a lot on a tablet).

Awesome app! Thank you so much! :D

Just on a side note if people see Parallax Effect working, could you please post the launcher you are using? With Nova Launcher it tries to work but seems to slow the S4 down :confused:. Pretty sure I am not explaining myself correctly but it would be nice to build a supported launcher list :).
